The new Constitution gives to every
resident male foreigner, twenty years
Of age, the privilege of voting for
Mobiles and Representatives, in this
city as well as throughout the King
dom, on certain conditions. At the
last election, held in this city, in Feb
ruary, 1886, there were 2,157 votes
cast, of which it was estimated that
300 were cast by foreigners, leaving
the native vote as 1857. Of course,
the natives elected their Representa-
tives on the Government ticket, while
the foreigners We're practically unrep-
resented in the Legislature. There
ought to be at least 1000 votes cast in
this city at the next election, (includ-
ing natives and foreigners provided
foreigners improve the opportunity
and qualify themselves, by payment
of taxes, registering their names, and
taking an oath before the election in
spectors to obey the Constitution and
laws of the country The oath re-
quired does not forswear allegiance
to any foreign country, nor does the
voter swear allegiance to the King Of
Hawaii, but only to obey the Consti-
tuition and laws of Hawaii, as a condi-
ton for voting

IT is two and half years since the
last census was taken in December,
1884. There is no reason to doubt
that there has been a steady gain in
population throughout the Kingdom
since that date, or that the next emu
meration will show as large an in
crease as the previous did What
the whole population is now or may
be in 1890, is not easily determined;
but it will be comparatively easy to
ascertain approximately what that Of
Honolulu now is. It increases more
rapidly than that of the whole group,
as is indicated by the number of
dwellings, that are constantly being
erected. According to the last census,
the population of this city, in 1884,
was 20,487, and the increase during
the previous six years was 6,373, or
about one-third, nearly all Of which
were foreigners. Of this population,
10,S53 were natives and 1854 were
foreigners; 1871 were males and
8,I16 females Since 1884 the rapid
increase of foreigners has continued,
particularly Of Portuguese, many Of
whose contracts on the plantations
have expired during the last three
years. The Portuguese population
alone in the Kingdom is estimated at
between $4,000 and 14,00G at the pres
ent date. AS stated above, the in
crease of population in Honolulu dur
ing the six years ending December,
1884, was 6,373, OR 1902 per annum.
Since that date, the increase has un
doubtedly been larger, owing in part,
to the influx of Portuguese referred
to, and an average annual increase Of
I,500 is probably not far from correct.
This will give the present population
of the city as ,237, of whom 11,OO0
are natives and half-castes, and over
1900 foreigners and children of for
eigners born in the country.

An article taken from Boston pa
per, for which we have not room in
this issue, relates to the appointment
of a reinforcement of the American
Mission in these Islands. 1t has been
rumored for some time past that
movement in this direction has been
in contemplation, and the article
quoted is the first allusion to it that
we have seen in the papers. Since
the visit of Dr. Anderson to these Isl
ands, some twenty years ago, which
resulted in radical change of policy.
amounting to withdrawal of support,
except SO far as was necessary to
maintain those missionaries who were
already here, no reinfOrcements were
sent ont; and these Islands, as a mis-
sion field, were practically abandoned.
by the American Board OF Missions.
The result has been that the native
churches have decreased III the mum
bers attending them and III their in
iuence on the people, while in some
districts religious services have been
almost wholly abandoned, thus Ieav-
ing the rising generation to grow no
almost as irreligious as their fore
fathers who lived hundred years
since. The present condition Of the
natives, particularly in the outer dis
uicts, has led some to distrust the
Congregational system of church gov
ernment as ipapplicable to a people
emerging, as the Hawaiians have been,
from state of barbarism 1t is to
counteract this unfortunate state of
things, that efforts are being made
now by the friends of Hawaii in
America to send out evangelists to
labor among the natives and to assist
the native pastors in their work. What
the result of this new movement will
be, depends largely on the fitness of
the men who may be sent out, for the
work they are to engage in.

4 Curiosity of Commerce..

Along the northeast coast Of Africa,
south Of Cape Guardafui, there are 10
towns worth mentioning for some hun
dreqs Of miles. The Somali natives who
live along the coast have had scarcely any
dealings with white traders, A little
while ago smart firm in Alden made up
their minds that by maintaining regular
communications with this coast they
would be able TO build upa good trade
They therefore bought d little steam YES
sci and sent their agents along the coast
to tell the natives that at certain times. ii
they would look out on the sea, they would
see a steamer coming, laden with beauti-
full goods, to give them in exchange for
hides, palm oil and the other products Of
the Somah region.
The little vessel has now made several
trips, and the experiment has proved q
great success. knowing that they may
expect the steamer at the date fixed the
natives for many miles in the interior flock
to the shores at different points where the
vessel stops A large crowd well bur
dened with objects of exchange await the
steamer, which anchors off the coast while
trading boats put ashore, and lively
market is soon in progress where few
hours before nothing could be seen but
the wide stretching sands that border this
coast.-Chicago Times.

Night Work and Day Labor.

think the judgments formed at night
are never so solid and fresh as judgments
formed in the morning. If in the morn
ing man is without charity, if he is de.
spondent, if he is dull, if he is unnerved,
you may be sure that he is living wrong.
For the order of nature is that man
should rise from his bed in the morning
as birds rise, singing, and in perfect
health. A man rises buoyant, and has
his best hours IN the early day. For al.
though, perhaps, the fancy may not be Sc

day are apt to be sounder and safer than

Logan'> Unheeded Suggestion.

In all the obituary notices of Gen.
Logan have never found any referring
to one of the most remarkable military
achievements of his life, as related by a
writer in The Sunday Herald, of this city
Logan had the advance of Mcpherson's
corps in the turning of Joe Johnston's po-
sition ut Dalton, Ga, just at the opening
of the Atlanta campaign. He penetrated
unobserved and unOpposed to the north
side of the Chattahoochee river at ReSaca,
where ], 800 dismOunted Confederate cav
airy held fort guarding bridge over the
river on the only road by which Johnston
could retreat to Atlanta. Logan begged
Mcpherson to let him ford the river, scale
the fort and burn the bridge or hold it,
thus getting completely in the rear of
Johnston. Mcpherson hesitated: Logan
begged. Mcpherson spoke of the danger;
Logan insisted on the practica bilty Of the
movement. Mcpherson spoke of the in
evitable slaughter in the fording Of the
stream: Logan deScanted on the import
ance of the capture of the fort and the
bridge, and offered to lead one of his
brtgades in person.
Mcpherson, overcautious. retreated dur
ing the night, ana the opportunity of driv-
ing Johnston from hi; base was lost. The
writer says: THAT night I slept with
Logan i'll an ambulance-that is, I slept
part Of the night in the ambulance. the
rest of it under it. Logan was the mad
deSt man I had ever seen. When he
finally got to sleep he was so restless that
I was practically pitched out Of the ambu-
lance and had TO take refuge underneath
it. The next day the needless but bloody
battle Of kesaca took place. Johnston in
terposed once more Between Sherman and
Atlanta: the hundred days campaign to
that place was rendered necessary. and
Mcpherson paid for his temerity With his
life in sight If the promised point of the
campaign. Gen. Sherman. in his memoirs,

ton. l have often wondered what
change in the war the successful attack
